In Clearwater, the courthouse isn’t an abstraction. It’s downtown, on Court Street, and it’s where most Pinellas County injury cases are decided. When you hire a Clearwater personal injury lawyer, you’re hiring someone to walk into that building for you. That’s the job, and it’s one we know.
Suli Law Group was built by a former insurance defense attorney. Founding Attorney Laura Topalli Sulisufay sat on the carriers’ side for years while they valued claims like yours. Now the firm puts that inside knowledge to work for injured people and policyholders, on contingency: no fee unless we win.
Start with the roads. US-19 carries commuter volume through a wall of signalized intersections. Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard funnels beach traffic through the center of town, and the Courtney Campbell Causeway pours Tampa commuters in behind it. Season changes everything: spring break and summer put rental cars, scooters, and distracted drivers between the bridges and the sand.
Visitors get hurt here too, not just locals. A vacation crash or a hotel stairwell fall doesn’t stop being a Florida case when you fly home. We run those cases by phone and video without missing a step.
Vacation crashes also stack insurance layers in ways locals never see: a rental car’s coverage, the renter’s policy from another state, a rideshare period, your own uninsured-motorist protection. Sorting the layers is half the case, and it decides how much money is actually on the table. We map every layer before anyone talks numbers.
And the Gulf writes its own claims. Wind-driven rain, ripped shingles, water intrusion behind stucco: Clearwater and the beach communities take the weather first. Carriers know the volume of storm claims coming and staff their playbook accordingly. So do we. And because Florida now gives property owners a shorter window to report storm claims than most people expect, waiting to “see how it dries out” can quietly cost you the claim. Report, document, then let us fight about value.
Two habits worth stealing, whether you live off Gulf-to-Bay or you’re here for a week. First, treat your phone as the file cabinet: the crash report number, the adjuster’s name, photos of the scene and the damage, all in one place before memory fades. Second, respect the clocks. Florida gives most storm claims a one-year notice window and most injury cases two years, and both run out faster than people expect. The free consultation exists so the clock never beats you.

we shoulder the case so your family can grieve
The case handled with care, start to finish.
Clearwater Beach and Island Estates, downtown and Cleveland Street, Countryside, and Belleair on the bluffs. We also serve Largo next door (if you found us through our old Largo page, this is your page now), plus Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and Palm Harbor up the coast. And if your crash happened on the Courtney Campbell itself, don’t worry about which city’s page you found. We work both ends of the causeway.
Yes. Your case belongs where the injury happened, not where you live, and Florida law governs it. Before you fly home, save what you can: the crash report number or the hotel's incident report, photos of the scene and your injuries, and names of anyone who saw it. We handle out-of-state clients by phone and video from there, and if a court date ever requires you back, we plan it with you months in advance.
For most Pinellas County civil cases, yes. The Sixth Judicial Circuit hears them at the courthouse on Court Street downtown. Having the venue in your own city shortens nothing legally, but it makes the process feel less foreign, and we know the building well.
Not before talking to a lawyer. Recorded statements exist to lock in words that get used against you later. Politely decline, write down what happened while it's fresh, and call us first.
Contingency, always: no fee unless we win. Nothing upfront, no hourly billing, and the fee agreement is in writing before anything starts.
Whether you live off Gulf-to-Bay, run a business on the beach, or flew home from vacation with a cast on, tell us what happened. The consultation is free, the answer is straight, and if we can't help, we'll say so and point you somewhere that can.
